I miss poker :(

It's been a long time since my last blog, and I'm sad about that. I've been very busy lately including the startup of my 3rd business. While I didn't need money for funding those startup costs, there were other "life-beats" that came about, and I was forced to be a mature adult, blah blah blah, (still NOT happy about this!) and cash out my entire bankroll to pay for things that aren't fun in life ($400 eyeglasses are on this list...as an aside not having insurance sucks when you have to pay for things, but I'm pretty sure I'm still very +EV for not having it).

So, my awesome progess, my 12-tabling, working towards an actual career playing cards, has all come to a ridiculously quick screeching halt. I managed to retain $30 on my epassporte after paying bills, so I've shoved it back onto stars, and going to start grinding the $.01/$.02 NL and $1.20 sngs to try and make a rush at finishing my FPP $50 bonus, giving me enough room to safely (in my opinion of my own personal play and results) 4-6 table $.02/$.05 and try to rebuild my roll.

This is the 2nd most I've ever wanted something, right after wanting to become a professional athlete. I'm going to do everything in my power to make this a reality, even if it's just playing 8 hours a week for a little extra something, if I'm grinding out 5BB/100 and my usual 700ish per hour, I'd be pulling down an extra $140 at $.10/$.25 all the way to $560 a week at $.50/$1.

As of late, I've been active on 2p2 more reading and talking with my favorite pokerstar, insert beer. Strategerizing is fun and all, but it's time for this junkie to get back to the felt. I hope I'm typing again sooner than later, and with good news. No more lifebeats, and who knows? Maybe even a life-suckout :)

P.S.

I'm resetting my Tracking Meter for my bankroll. I'm very sad about this, but I don't think it's right to freeze it. Instead I'm making a note for myself that before my lifebeat, I had 56% of my required roll for $.10/$.25.
